[X Newbies] help! cd, net and help viewer gone south

[Norman Cohen]

A reasonable concern. If you delete the user from the Accounts System 
Preference Pane using your administrative account, you will have the 
option of saving the old user directory as a disk image file or 
completely deleting it. Either way, your local netinfo database gets 
updated, removing the user from the user domain as well as removing the 
user from any assigned groups. No other residue should remain if you 
choose to delete the user directory in its entirety, assuming you 
haven't installed anything else using that user name into other areas 
such as /Library, /Applications, etc.
